BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   05 Jul 2024
 
GOING: N

Hygain Winners Choice Handicap 1200m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Go Gurda is expected to lead at a strong tempo. LADY DUMONT (2) ran on nicely at this track and distance to score her second career win when last seen in this grade. She maps for a similar run here from the soft gate and looks a big chance for another win. PERI PERI RICH (1) is racing well. She was good here last time out when second and only needs to hold that sort of level to be going very close. SMOKEY WARRIOR (3) resumed behind Lady Dumont and ran well for third, beaten just over a length. Fitter for that and can bridge the gap. HELL OF A TRIP (4) broke through for her maiden win at her sixth outing here last start. PONTIFICATE (5) is in the mix third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Dumont on top.
